Will he ever walk again? As a top rehabilitation therapist, Christina Lorde devotes her days to helping people recover from spinal cord injuries. Most nights, however, she spends alone, dreaming of one of her patients. Eager to distract herself from her inappropriate feelings, she joins an on-line dating site where a profile of a handsome war veteran catches her attention. She needs to get out, to have fun again, and decides to take a chance on a man she's never met in person. Marine biologist Ben Roberts has to focus on walking again. He can't become involved with his sexy physical therapist, not when he'll be leaving Chicago to return to his native Florida as soon as his therapy is complete. His determination to concentrate on his recovery doesn't stop the slow burn of desire for Christina, even though she has someone else in her life. But when Christina's mystery man becomes oddly possessive, Ben suspects it may be more than just bad romance. Can he protect the woman he's falling in love with even if he can't yet stand by her side? An unbalanced stalker, Christina's vengeful ex-husband, and a cache of secrets come into play while Ben and Christina struggle to define their relationship without crossing the boundaries they've set for themselves. But the hand they've been dealt may cost them everything if they can't uncover who's stacking the deck against them.

After 26 years in Corporate leadership at a Fortune 500, I discovered people within the organization lacked integrity. I’d always known deep in my soul that I was trying to fit a square peg in to a round hole since I’m the typical creative type. I miss my staff but I don’t miss the corporate world. It’s been said that the Universe will let you know if something isn’t right for you. The first time, it will hit you with a pebble. Then a brick. Then a boulder. Let’s just say that I got flattened. When my fifteen pound toy dog, Nigel, was threatened, I knew it was time to say goodbye. It’s true. Here’s what I found within the first thirty days of being free. Writing stories from my heart that readers love means more to me than working myself in to an early grave for people who only care about their bottom line. My heart has never been more full and my soul has never been more satisfied. I’ve never worked so hard in my life but it doesn’t even feel like work. It’s worth it. All of it. Because it’s about the joy that’s found within the journey. The highs and the lows because I get to write stories for all of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, enjoying and recommending the stories that I write. When you share my work with others, nothing is more rewarding. Your word of mouth is my very best friend … that, and your reviews. There is nothing more important to me than all of you. I love to hear from my readers and answer all communications personally.
